So many people think that living in a big city is the best thing ever. When you go to school in a small town and say you're from a big city like Chicago most people ask why you left and went to such a small school that's pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Well, let me tell ya, living in a big city can be a whole lot of fun but when you live there for 18+ years and you aren't really a "city" person it becomes a bit regular and sometimes even annoying. Here's a few reasons why living in a big city isn't always all that fun:

1. Too many people.

2. Everything costs money.

3. Traffic. Everywhere.

4. I hope you know where you're going 'cause if not, lemme tell ya, you WILL get lost traveling on public transportation.

5. High expectations from visitors. Sorry if the weather ruins your plans!!

6. Good luck finding parking!

7. Once you find a spot to park, if you find a spot to park, you'll probably have to pay to park there.

8. Tourists A.K.A. the source to reason number one.

9. You know those tourist sights that everybody tells you to visit when you go to a certain city? Yeah, they're usually over exaggerated and not always as fun as people make them seem.

10. You will probably have to walk a few blocks from wherever you parked or took public transportation to in order to get to your actual destination.

11. Everyday places like restaurants or stores are going to be crowded, I hope you aren't claustrophobic!

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
